"I apologize for the offensive tweets from my Twitter account from 4/5 years ago," Rodrigue tweeted. "There is no excuse for these tweets and the sentiment behind them. I am deeply sorry and apologize."

Rodrigue's name became widely known Wednesday after the Panthers quarterback made a sexist remark when asked about wide receiver Devin Funchess.

Since he made the comments, Newton has been dropped as a sponsor by Dannon yogurt.

The Panthers QB posted a two-minute video to his social media accounts apologizing for his comment

I spoke with him after and it was worse. I chose not to share, because I have an actual job to do today and one he will not keep me from.

"I understand my word choice was extremely degrading and disrespectful to women. And to be honest, that was not my intention," Newton said in the video. "And if you are a person who took offense to what I said, I sincerely apologize to you."
